For wheels, I spray them with a black/dark grey primer and use a circle template stencil to block the rims whilst spraying the centre. Makes it as easy as pie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3talpig Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Is it done yet .................... Looking good the yellow base has gone down well..what paint are you using? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good the yellow base has gone down well..what paint are you using? Just plain old Vallejo. I’m mixing a touch of Ivory 70.918 into everything, and it seems to aid with the flow. The yellow is a mix of German Dark Yellow, lightened with Iraqi Sand, and Ivory. Then lightened with just the ivory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 thats a brilliant colour... i would be leaving it like that (mainly cos I can't spray freehand camo ;-)) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes “Stuff” just happens. My plans for a masked Disc camo failed miserably. But would have “probably” worked if I’d left off the skirt rails. So, what we are left with, is a late war, faded, factory 3 color. It’s gloss coated waiting for decals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3talpig Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 So no disco then...... and i went out and bought new platform shoes and everything. Did you consider making different size circular stamps......high density foam on a stick if you like circular shaped at the tip and dipping in the paint and then press to the model...just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
